To help farmers adapt to climate change, the Country Pilot Partnership (CPP), an alliance of seven Ministries1 in Namibia supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), has started a three year adaptation pilot project in the area. "We have introduced simple and cheap methods such as drip irrigation lines, water pumps, drought resistant livestock and plant breeds, or basic water harvesting technology," says project manager Andreas Shilomboleni. "In many cases the community is expected to "finance the adaptation measures, so these are not free hand-outs."
